Movie Review: Khoobsurat (2014)

Comparing new Khoobsurat with the old one is unfair. Although, the basic concept is similar, they are totally different, and the main difference is that Rekha’s Khoobsurat was a family drama and this one is a love story. One of the easiest love stories without any conflict.
Lively and spirited physiotherapist Dr. Mili Chakravarthy ( Sonam kapoor ) works with IPL, She comes to a palace to treat Raja Shekhar Singh Rathore (Aamir Raza Hussain). Ranisa (Ratna Pathak Shah) is a strict disciplina...

Flash Fiction: Life!

I open my eyes in pin drop silence stretched in a dim lit room. It feels like I have slept for eternity. A strange stench hit my nostril and I feel suffocated.
I look around. A boy aged about ten or eleven, is lying on the bed next to me. He looks at me and smiles. He is exceptionally thin.
A woman is sleeping on a cushioned bench near his bed, snoring gently. My eyes travel a little left. There is another bench on which another woman is sleeping. She looks familiar. Very familiar! Oh, she is...

Mango Cheeks Metal Teeth is a light fiction by Aruna Nambiar ( Westland Books ). This book reminded me of those playful afternoons in vacations that we enjoyed in our childhood. Just kids, in the silence of afternoons, playing and shar...

Blogging is bliss!

Image @ The Mag

This image pictures one of my dreams, exactly! (I dream a lot!) And I still remember that dream.
It depicts a wonderful land of stories, where myriads of emotions float. Writing stories are like painting. Painting vivid imagery with words. It reflects nature, that itself stores bundle of stories.
Okay, when we talk about reading and writing, we just cannot miss blogging. Sometimes I feel that blogging is like floating in dreams, playing in the galaxy of thoughts and imagination....

Book Review: Fade Into Red by Reshma K Barshikar

I don't travel much, but I really like travel stories. Actually, films like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobaara, Highway and Queen made me love such stories. They are always about "living life to the fullest", adventure and self-exploration.

Fade Into Red by Reshma K Barshikar says,

The road to true happiness is almost as elusive as that perfect glass of Chianti..."

Fade Into Red tells an interesting story of Ayra, an investment banker and aspiring art historian, who travels to Italy for the deal of a vin...

Black is powerful

"Go buy your things of your choice, but make sure there's not a trace of black in your clothes when you buy them."

"I know."

"And in your watch."

"Okay."

"And your footwear and handbag."

Glaring silence.

"And your travel bag..."

"Oh come on!"

Yes, it happens in many Indian homes. Many people consider black inauspicious in weddings and some other auspicious occasions. Although I follow this culture but I don't understand this. Indian people consider black teeka a shield against evil and yet they consi...
